one other thing you should look into if the drive/your pc will support profile 2.0 for blueray.

Also since it looks like you will need software and a new videocard you might want to consider picking up a PS3 as they are relatively cheap, support profile 2 and can output with HDMI. Plus it's a ps3 so you can game in HD glory :)

That is exacly what I was thinking, just keep saving my pennies and get a ps3.
Alot less hastle.
